I don't think he is being teleported, it's the missile flames burning him alive I think...

Uhh, that doesn't make sense, he's behind blast doors. Also, note that the arms spread pose is similar to the Ion Cannon ending in TD, which by all accounts is canon. The currently prevalent theory is that Kane narrowly (thus the burns on his face) escaped the Ion Cannon blast by teleporting in a similar manner.

I feel that the lighting is very odd in this sequence (as well as in the rest of the mission 1 video). Vega's face seems to be lit only by a very strong ambient light but no directional light, making his face appear as if it were pasted into the scene instead of actually being surrounded by his helmet.

If you read my article on the Summit here at CnC Source: Summit Review

Crap just noticed all the gallery images it links to are now incorrectly linking to wrong images, I'll have to get that fixed.

Anyway Hypnotist won this first battle, I was too busy checking out all the cool Nod stuff lol and got swarmed by GDI pretty quick, although at this stage Nod was underpowered in this build of C&C3 anyway.

However I did win against Hypnotist in a match we played later and won glory for the Brotherhood

Think I'll go around and replace all these photo's with higher resolution ones and remove redeyes and stuff too..
